I would really rather not do this.  tradcpp.c as it is now is five
thousand lines of marginally maintainable code.  cccp.c from March is
eleven thousand lines of unmaintainable spaghetti.  It would be less
effort, long term, to put back assertions, and varargs if necessary -
each can be done in <100 lines.
